Thirty-three league matches across the Second and Seventh Divisions. 5,882 runs, 231 wickets, thirty-five players and eleven hundreds, which is nearly twice as many as the club managed the following summer. Every figure below is drawn from the club’s own scoring data, ball by ball.

Twenty won.
Eight of eight at home

The club’s best return of the two seasons on this site: 20 wins from 33. The 1st XI went 13–4 in the Second Division and won every one of its eight matches at Weald Road. The 2nd XI finished 7–9, and the club got stronger as the summer went on, taking seven of ten in August.

The season, fixture by fixture

How the summer moved

Three season-long measures, May through August. The club scored more per innings and conceded less per over as the year went on.

Eleven hundreds,
and a 751

266 innings, 5,882 runs, 24 fifties and eleven hundreds. Four batters passed 450 runs and Danny Finch made 751 at 53.64, the largest individual return in either season here. The top five between them scored 2,738, which is 46.5% of everything the club made.

Every batter with 100 or more runs. The bar is volume; the dot is the batting average on a shared scale. Gold marks are hundreds, small marks are fifties.

How the wickets fell

One square per innings, 266 in all.

Innings of the season

231 wickets at 23.8 apiece, 133 maidens, an overall economy of 4.67. Saf Abbas and Hasnain Iqbal took twenty-seven each, Abbas at 12.67 and Iqbal at 16.07. Abbas did it in a season he also made 442 runs with the bat.

145 taken
in the field

129 catches, eight stumpings and eight run outs. Drops are not shown for this season: the club only began recording them in July 2026, so the figure here would be zero rather than true.

Dismissals in the field

Every fielder with three or more dismissals in the field.

Anyone above the diagonal shelled more than they held.

Volume behind the stumps cuts both ways.Omar Ahmad took sixteen catches and three stumpings, more than anyone at the club. He also put down four.

13,253 points,
thirty-five ways

The club’s points system rewards runs, wickets, catches and match involvement, so it reads a season the way a captain does rather than the way a scorebook does. Danny Finch finished on 1,457, the highest total in either season on this site.

Points earned, and where they came from

Top twenty. Segments are batting, bowling and fielding, which sum to the total. Penalties sit at the right in red.

Appearances by every player used in 2025. Saf Abbas and Rob Harvey played seventeen times each, more than anyone; nine of the thirty-five played four or fewer.

One win
from six

A separate team, a separate format, separate numbers. Nothing below is counted anywhere else on this page. The midweek team played eight, two of which never finished, and won one of the six that did. Armaan AliShah carried it: 92 runs and seven wickets, more than twice anyone else’s points. Five of these fixtures were played under the Brookweald Friendly XI name.
